Zao onsen is a lovely getaway in the Japanese mountains.
Zao onsen is a lovely getaway in the Japanese mountains. Mostly tailored to skiers and snowboarders though, with the many hills and ski facilities. But it's also a lovely place for a brief visit if you want some relaxation and onsens. We visited mainly for seeing the Zao Snow monsters and relaxing at a nice hotel. Unforuntately the Snow Monsters had already melted when we were there, and only one cablecar worked going up the mountain, so there was a huge line. The town is cozy with a few restaurant options. We did not ski and stayed for two nights which was just the right amount of time, as there's not that much to experience in the town, other than ski, visit onsen and take the cablecar (if it's working properly)

It's good for a few days of hitting the slopes and had a surprising number for eateries compared to some of the other onsen towns. The juhyo (snow monster) is an interesting sight (depending on the weather) especially since you will have to go right to the top of the mountain to see it. It has a night viewing session depending on the season for the juhyo also. And if you're driving, Yamagata town is just a short 30mins drive down the mountain and you'll have more eateries to choose from.EdMalaysia - 10Scored 10

I stayed in Zao Onsen in mid October and had a beautiful time absorbed in the energy of the mountains and blown away by the ‘koyo’ autumn leaves 🧡 In the off season, it proves a serene escape to soak in the onsens, and take in the clean air and stunning views on various hikes. I can only imagine how much fun it would be when covered in snow!

I booked for a group of 3 families. When I checked in they assumed that the Japanese family is the primary contact. The hotel front refused my ID and address and INSISTED that the Japanese family should be the primary contact and address. This is unacceptable considering that I am the one booking. It caused a lot of confusion and uncomfortable to my group. If you do not want foreigner to book the property then why bother listing it in the booking.com?Reza SurjaJapan - 8.0Scored 8.0

Interesting for its hot springs one can find almost everywhere and its location in a charming mountain are. The little town itself doesn't offer much and is rather boring. Few restaurants that close early at about 3 pm and hardly any shopping facilities. Fortunately, there is at least a small convenience store. The sulphurous smell of the hot springs can be noticed all around the area.GerdGermany - 10Scored 10

Staying at the Christmas Rose Hotel was perfect for hot springs ( onsen ) and also close to convenience store. The owners are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Free rides to zao hp town and had coupons for the four main hot springs there. Tatami mat flooring and Japanese type hotel. Perfect for relaxing away from major city type hotels. Peaceful time memories. I have videos on youtube also about it. Highly recommended!! Zao Onsen is an amazing place.

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 83 reviewsI really like the staff; they are nice and easy to talk with even though my Japanese is poor. The location of the hotel is very close to one of the lifts, but you have to ask the staff to send you to the nearest ticket center first. Yes, you can ask the staff to drive you to nearby locations you like, such as Onsen Street, the ticket center, and the bus terminal. Although it was simply because the icy slope to the hotel makes it impossible to access on foot. There was nothing much to talk about; it was average.YuJapan
- 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 26 reviewsOraphin, Taka, and Yui are the best! The were so friendly and helpful. My fiance and I stayed for a few days and don't speak Japanese so Oraphin and Taka helped us reserve a private onsen and a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant. Zao Onsen is a small town, but even still the location of the house was very close to everything and just steps away from many nice onsens. Oraphin and Taka will help you with whatever your needs may be, I would gladly come back and stay with them again!EdwardUnited States of America
- From $189.53 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 252 reviewsThis beautiful hotel is in a great location. It only took us a 10-minute walk from the JR Station and a 5-minute walk from the ropeway station. The dinner was superb, with a variety of delicate Japanese dishes and grill beef. The famous beef was so tender and delicious. We were so full and the staff offered us take-away dessert that we could enjoy later in our room. Free shuttle bus service from Yamagata JR Station to the hotel could be reserved in advance. Great service!loHong Kong
- 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 26 reviewsThe hotel is near to the bus station, which is very convenient to go or leave. But most let me surprise is that the houser could speak Chinese, English and Japanese very frequently! There is no problem to have a communication. The room is very beautiful and clean. Only one thing let me sorry is the smell from the kerosene stove. You need to being used to it. In next season, I might go again and hopefully I could get the same room from this hotel~!tianiiaoJapan

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 119 reviewsWe love the meals, services, big rooms and the strategic location to Zao Sky Cable. It is quite a walk to Sanroku Ropeway but the hotel offers pick up and drop off service whenever you want, which is a total plus. Breakfast and Dinner are just marvelous. The facilities are quite old but it is clean and very traditional Japanese. The Onsen is the best in town and it's open 24 hrs.... Overall, we love it and definitely will go back.
